    m1009 before and after

    Thanks CARNAC! I WISH I had 3916's to be honest. The 3900 breaks to easily from what I have seen. We used them in OIF III and 7-9 on our trucks-any time we hit a wire it would snap the rod inside the antennae rendering it useless. We rolled with 3916s on our tanks and they worked awesome...

    I don't know JACK

    The first 3 pictures from L to R look like the spare tire carrier jack on the back of an M998 or M1151. The tire carrier swings outward on some HMMWVs and use that crank assembly to raise and lower the tire off of the support bracket in order to allow access to the back hatch latch.
